BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a method of a double starwheel unit in multiple rows with a multi-hole manner, an instrument and the like, and particularly relates to a method of a double starwheel unit made integrally in one piece, an instrument and the like.

2. Background of the Invention

An ink-jet printer usually uses a starwheel unit to increase friction while pushing a sheet of paper out from an outlet thereof after printing. With respect to FIG. 1, a first conventional starwheel unit 1′ is provided and includes a sleeve 10′ and a starwheel 14′ disposed in a middle of the sleeve 10′. The sleeve 10′ has a center hole 15′ formed therein for wrapping a spring to be parallel with the outlet of the printer. The printer further includes a second starwheel unit (not shown), different from the first starwheel unit 10′ and engaging with a concave-convex structure, which is arranging on the sleeve 10′.

The ink-jet printer requires many first conventional starwheel units 1′ for average loading on the paper; thus the cost and the assembly steps thereof increase. The ink-jet printer with the second conventional starwheel unit, which increases loading on the paper by the concave-convex structure, encounters more difficulties with module designing and sleeve engaging process than a printer with the first conventional starwheel unit 1′, and further has so many problems both of yield rates of the sleeve engaging process and failure rates that cost of the ink-jet printer with the second conventional starwheel unit cannot be diminished.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The primary object of the invention is therefore to specify a method of a double starwheel unit in multiple rows with a multi-hole manner, an instrument and the like, so as to diminish the cost and manufacturing steps, to increase the yield rate and to drop the failure rate.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a double starwheel unit including a sleeve and two starwheels. The sleeve has an upper portion, a middle portion and a lower portion sequentially arranged, and the sleeve further includes a central hole throughout the upper portion, the middle portion and the lower portion. The two starwheels are respectively defined as a first and a second starwheels parallel-arranged in an upper-and-lower manner. The two starwheels respectively have a first and a second external tooth 16 and a first and a second internal edge. The first internal edge of the first starwheel is disposed between the upper portion and the middle portion, and the second internal edge of the second starwheel is disposed between the middle portion and the lower portion. The first and the second internal edges respectively have a first and a second gear-wheel hole formed thereon and relating to the central hole of the sleeve, and the first and the second external teeth are exposed by the sleeve.

This object is further achieved by an instrument adopted for fabricating a plurality of double starwheel units in multiple rows with a multi-hole manner. The instrument includes a plate-like assembly fixture and an orientation mechanism. The plate-like assembly fixture includes a plurality of strip-like tools parallel to each other and a plurality of connection mechanisms for combining the strip-like tools with the plate-like assembly fixture. Each strip-like tool has a plurality of recesses respectively formed on two opposing longitudinal sides. The plate-like assembly fixture includes a module hole formed both by each of the recesses of the strip-like tools and a next recess relating thereto and the double starwheel units is oriented therein. The orientation mechanism combines the strip-like tools closely with and parallel to the plate-like assembly fixture, or to separate the strip-like tools from the plate-like assembly fixture.

This object is also achieved by a method adopted for fabricating a plurality of double starwheel units in multiple rows with a multi-hole manner, including: (a) bringing a plurality of strip-like tools increasingly closer together and parallel to each other for combination into a plate-like assembly fixture, the strip-like tools each having a plurality of recesses formed on two opposing longitudinal sides thereof, and a plurality of module holes formed by each of the recesses and the next recess relating thereto; (b) retaining two sheet-like substrates against an upper surface and a lower surface of the plate-like assembly fixture, the two sheet-like substrates each having a plurality of starwheels respectively relating to the module holes, of which each has a circumference ranging between those of the gear-wheel hole and an external teeth of each of the starwheels; (c) covering the plate-like assembly fixture with an exterior mold, and closely pressing the external teeth arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the plate-like assembly fixture; (d) injecting a working fluid through an injection hole in the exterior mold and into the module holes therein, and transforming the working fluid into a sleeve to connect the starwheels of the two sheet-like substrates on the upper and the lower surfaces of the plate-like assembly fixture relating to each other for shaping a plurality of double starwheel units respectively oriented in the module holes; (e) removing the exterior mold; (f) taking a plurality of residents of the two sheet-like substrates off; and (g) separating the strip-like tools from and keeping the double starwheel units.
